FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 CONVERTIBLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. I HAD THE CAR LIFTED UP ON LIFTS AT THE DEALERSHIP I WORK AT AND SAW THAT THERE WAS FUEL ALL AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE FUEL TANK. THE FUEL LINE IS LEAKING BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT START ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. THE SECOND ATTEMPT BUILDS UP ENOUGH FUEL PRESSURE FOR A NORMAL START. THE FUEL ODOR HAS GOTTEN SO BAD INSIDE THE CABIN THAT I HAVE TO KEEP THE WINDOWS CRACKED AT ALL TIMES WHILE DRIVING TO KEEP ME FROM GETTING A HEADACHE. I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND LITERALLY WATCH THE FUEL NEEDLE DROP. GM NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE BEFORE I OR SOMEONE ELSE ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED IN A FIRE!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT. POOR CONNECTION, BURNING/MELTED HEADLIGHT SOCKET, HEADLIGHT CHOOSE WHEN THEY WANT TO WORK. ACTIONS TAKEN, I DIDN'T WAIT FOR A RECALL. BURNT SOCKET LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THE HARNESS WASN'T ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE AMPERAGE. I REPLACED THE WIRES RUNNING TO HEADLIGHTS WITH A LARGER GAUGE. REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT CONNECTOR. ALL HAS BEEN WELL SINCE, GOING ON 3 YEARS NOW. ANOTHER WIRING ISSUE IS THE INJECTOR/CAN SENSOR HARNESS. IF THIS BECOMES LOOSE IN ANY WAY THE CAR RUNS VERY ROUGH, POOR FUEL, LOW IDLE, OR STALLING. AT THE TIME MY VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS RUNNING ROUGH I HAD NO FAULTS OR CEL. I THOUGHT MY TIMING CHAIN WAS ABOUT TO SNAP. ALL THIS DUE TO A ELECTRICAL CONNECTION THAT WIGGLED JUST A TAD LOOSE.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON THE FREEWAY, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIT UP AND A BEEP TWICE INDICATED AN ISSUE WITH POWER STEERING AND THE CAR NO LONGER MAINTAINS POWER STEERING. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE 14772 FOR THE MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR BUT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT SHOULD COVER ALL MODELS AFFECTED IT'S DIFFICULT TO STEER WITHOUT THE POWER STEERING. I'VE ALREADY HAD MY CAR TOWED TWICE TO A DEALER THAT CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM AND I'VE SPENT OVER $200.00 TO HAVE MY BATTERY CABLES CLEANED WHICH IS WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS THE PROBLEM.

STEERING
I RECIEVED AN ERROR MESSAGE ON MY DASH POWER STEERING, SERVICE ESC, AND ESC OFF WHILE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I DROVE A FEW BLOCKS AND COULD NOT LONGER CONTROL MY STEERING - THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD REPORTED BY MANY, MANY G5, G6 AND G8 OWNERS WITH MODEL YEARS BETWEEN 2005 AND 2010 IN PARTICULAR. WHY CERTAIN MODELS/YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND NOT ALL OF THEM IS BEYOND ME. IT TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD TO GET BACK TO MY HOME AND GET THE CAR PARKED SAFELY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THERE IS A GASOLINE SMELL COMING FROM MY CAR AT ALL TIMES. I DID RESEARCH AND THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM FOR THE SAME EXACT CAR. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I BELIEVE IT'S A CRACK IN THE FUEL TANK OR HOSE. I'VE NOTICED SINCE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

STEERING
POWER STEERING FAILS AT RANDOM TIMES. FAILURE MAY OCCUR WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR AT ANY TIME VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT ANY SPEED. IF IGNITION IS TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED ON THIS SOMETIMES CLEARS THE PROBLEM AND POWER STEERING WORKS. THIS PROBLEM USUALLY OCCURS 3 OR 4 TIMES IN THE FIRST 15 MINUTES OF TRAVEL. FAILURE OCCURS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS USED. THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.

STEERING
I HAVE SENT IN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 LOSS OF POWER STEERING PROBLEM WITH NO RESULTS. THE DEALER SAID IT WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT BUT EVERYWHERE I LOOK I SEE THAT IT IS A RECALL. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 IS FOR MY YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT SHOULD I DO.

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING KEEPS FAILING ON ME WHEN I DRIVE AND SOMETIMES STAYS OFF ALL DAY NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I RESTART THE CAR. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY AND IT DID NOT COME BACK UNTILL I GOT HOME AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE SECOND TIME HAPPENED ON MY WAY TO WORK AROUND A CORNER AND I ALMOST WENT OFF OF THE ROAD. OTHERWISE IT KEEPS TURNING ON AND OFF ON ME EVERY DAY (MOSTLY OFF).

STEERING
AS I WAS DRIVING TODAY WITH NO PRIOR DASH WARNING MY POWER STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AT A INTERSECTION ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART THE CAR AND MADE IT HOME BUT IT DID LOCK UP AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS WITH NO WARNING. I DID SEE THAT THIS WAS RECALLED ON MODELS EARLIER THAN 2010. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT THE TIME ON A CITY STREE COMING TO A INTERSECTION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
UNDER HARD ACCELERATION AND AT HIGH SPEEDS THE POWER STEERING IN THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO FAIL AND ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL LIGHTS ON THE DASH BEGINS TO FLASH AND BLINK IN A SHORTAGE TYPE OF WAY. THE VEHICLE BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN YOU TURN IT LEFT TO RIGHT. IF YOUR GOING AROUND A CORNER AND HIT THE GAS OR USE HARD ACCELERATION YOU LOOSE STEERING CONTROL.

STEERING
DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND POWER STEERING SIGN FLASHED WITHOUT WARNING ON SCREEN AND THEN STEERING WHEEL LOCKED GOING 65 MPH. CAUSING ME TO ALMOST CRASH AND NOW POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK. NOW POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK. I'M SEEING IN 2014 THERE WERE MANY RECALLS ON THIS VECHICLE AND FOR SOME ODD REASON, MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR AND SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE. IVE CALLED GM AND THEY WILL NOT HELP ME.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
A FEW MONTHS AGO I STARTED SMELLING FUEL FROM MY PARKED VEHICLE. AS TIME HAS GONE ON IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE, AND MY CAR IS BEGINNING TO LOSE POWER AND FAIL TO RUN PROPERLY. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY A MECHANIC THAT THE SMELL IS COMING FROM A SMALL FUEL LEAK COMING FROM A CONNECTOR ON THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE IDENTICAL TO THE ISSUE DESCRIBED IN RECALL #09V419000. I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHER G6 OWNERS AND THEY SEEM TO HAVE THIS ISSUE AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO MOVE. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN THE PARK POSITION, THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150,000.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CAR HAS A STRONG GAS SMELL ON TH BACK PASSENGER SIDE. IT'S HAD BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST A YEAR. I'M FINALLY ABLE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND HOPEFULLY FIXED AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE SMELL OF GAS IS SO STRONG IT IS NAUSEATING AND CAN BE SMELLED SEVERAL FEET AWAY FROM THE CAR. I'M WORRIED THAT THERE IS A GAS LEAK AND IT IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE TO TRANSPORT MY THREE CHILDREN. I'VE NOTICED THE SMELL SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN PARKED BUT GAS CAN BE SMELT INSIDE THE CAR WHILE DRIVING AS WELL.
